Full system lockout
Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for providing computer implemented services are disclosed. To provide the computer implemented services, a data processing system may include various hardware components within an interior of a chassis. To secure the various hardware components, the data processing system may include a security system. The security system may include a security bezel and a sled for limiting movement of the chassis. To do so, the sled may reversibly attach to a rail on which the chassis is positioned and reversibly fixedly attach to the security bezel to a position on the chassis. By doing so, the security bezel may cover an opening through which access to the hardware components is provided. Additionally, by doing so, the security bezel may be positioned with the rail, thereby limiting the movement of the chassis.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1 . A security system for a chassis of a data processing system, the security system comprising:
a security bezel adapted to:
limit access to an interior of the chassis through an opening in the chassis while the security bezel is positioned with the opening, and
limit movement of the chassis with respect to rails of a rack mount system for the chassis while the security bezel is locked to at least one of the rails; and
a slidable sled adapted to:
directly and reversibly attach to the at least one of the rails,
slide along the at least one of the rails to which the slidable sled is directly and reversibly attached, and
while attached to a rail, reversibly fixedly attach to the security bezel to position the security bezel with the opening.
2 . The security system of claim 1 , wherein the security bezel comprises:
a structural body; a collar that extends from a surface of the structural body; and a bezel pin adapted to interface with the slidable sled to reversibly fixedly attached to the security bezel, wherein the bezel pin is connected to and extends from a surface of the collar.
3 . The security system of claim 2 , wherein the collar has a shape adapted to fit into a portion of the chassis to maintain alignment of the security bezel with the slidable sled during reversible fixed attachment of the security bezel to the slidable sled.
4 . The security system of claim 2 , wherein the structural body has a shape that is adapted to cover the opening when positioned with the opening, and a structure that allows gasses to flow through the opening while the structural body is positioned with the opening.
5 . The security system of claim 4 , the structure of the structural body also being adapted to prevent intrusion into the chassis via the opening.
6 . The security system of claim 2 , wherein the slidable sled comprises:
a first portion adapted to attach to the at least one of the rails in a fixed, non-movable manner; a second portion that slides along the at least one of the rails to which the slidable sled is directly and reversibly attached by being slidably attached to the first portion to enable translation of the second portion between a first position and a second position while the first portion is attached to the at least one of the rails, the first portion and the second portion being formed together as a single unified component that is used as slidable sled; and a bezel pin receiver to receive the bezel pin, while the bezel pin is received by the bezel pin receiver the security bezel is fixedly attached to the slidable sled.
7 . The security system of claim 6 , wherein receiving the bezel pin by the bezel pin receiver comprises an approach of the bezel pin to the bezel pin receiver, the bezel pin applying a force to the bezel pin receiver during the approach to cause the second portion to move from the first position to the second position, and the second portion returning to the first position once the bezel pin is received by the bezel pin receiver.
8 . The security system of claim 7 , wherein the slidable sled further comprises a return spring adapted to return the second portion of the slidable sled to the first position.
9 . The security system of claim 8 , further comprising:
a force receiving member adapted to receive a force, when the force is received via the force receiving member, the return spring being overcome and the second portion moving from the first position to the second position to facilitate detachment of the security bezel from the slidable sled.
10 . The security system of claim 9 , wherein the detachment of the security bezel is adapted to permit movement of the chassis.
11 . The security system of claim 9 , further comprising:
a latch adapted to apply the force to the force receiving member.
12 . The security system of claim 1 , wherein the slidable sled comprises:
a first portion adapted to attach to the at least one of the rails in a fixed, non-movable manner; and a second portion that is slidably attached to the first portion to enable, when the slidable sled slides along the at least one of the rails, translation of the second portion between a first position and a second position while the first portion is attached to the at least one of the rails, the first portion and the second portion being formed together as a single unified component that is used as the slidable sled.
13 . An enclosure comprising:
a chassis; and a security system for the chassis, the security system comprising:
a security bezel adapted to:
limit access to an interior of the chassis through an opening in the chassis while the security bezel is positioned with the opening, and
limit movement of the chassis with respect to rails of a rack mount system for the chassis while the security bezel is locked to at least one of the rails; and
a slidable sled adapted to:
directly and reversibly attach to the at least one of the rails,
slide along the at least one of the rails to which the slidable sled is directly and reversibly attached, and
while attached to a rail, reversibly fixedly attach to the security bezel to position the security bezel with the opening.
14 . The enclosure of claim 13 , wherein the security bezel comprises:
a structural body; a collar that extends from a surface of the structural body; and a bezel pin adapted to interface with the slidable sled to reversibly fixedly attach to the security bezel, wherein the bezel pin is connected to and extends from a surface of the collar.
15 . The enclosure of claim 14 , wherein the collar has a shape adapted to fit into a portion of the chassis to maintain alignment of the security bezel with the slidable sled during reversible fixed attachment of the security bezel to the slidable sled.
16 . The enclosure of claim 14 , wherein the slidable sled comprises:
a first portion adapted to attach to the at least one of the rails in a fixed, non-movable manner; a second portion that slides along the at least one of the rails to which the slidable sled is directly and reversibly attached by being slidably attached to the first portion to enable translation of the second portion between a first position and a second position while the first portion is attached to the at least one of the rails, the first portion and the second portion being formed together as a single unified component that is used as slidable sled; and a bezel pin receiver to receive the bezel pin, while the bezel pin is received by the bezel pin receiver the security bezel is fixedly attached to the slidable sled.
17 . The enclosure of claim 16 , wherein a detachment of the security bezel from the slidable sled is adapted to permit movement of the chassis.
18 . A data processing system comprising:
a chassis; hardware components positioned in the chassis; and a security system for the chassis, the security system comprising:
a security bezel adapted to:
limit access to an interior of the chassis through an opening in the chassis while the security bezel is positioned with the opening, and
limit movement of the chassis with respect to rails of a rack mount system for the chassis while the security bezel is locked to at least one of the rails; and
a slidable sled adapted to:
directly and reversibly attach to the at least one of the rails,
slide along the at least one of the rails to which the slidable sled is directly and reversibly attached, and
while attached to a rail, reversibly fixedly attach to the security bezel to position the security bezel with the opening.
19 . The data processing system of claim 18 , wherein the security bezel comprises:
